About this horse

At Auction – Sale Date: Dec 22, 2025 [contact info removed] Merle is one to get you noticed! He is a grey that will never grey, thick, strong, big boned, and built to carry you smoothly all day long. He ties well, hauls well, and stands to saddle exactly as one should. He was previously ridden by an 80 year old gentleman who absolutely adored him. When his wife sold her horse and purchased one that was not gaited, he needed to switch horses, not because of Merle, but because Merle truly suits an experienced rider. Merle has been camping all over Western Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois. He stalls well, high ties, and handles new places with confidence. With his size, power, and forward way of going, Merle is best suited for an experienced rider who wants to step up and be noticed. He is great for the farrier, loves people, and has all the personality you could ask for, but he does require an experienced rider to bring out his best. Eddyville, KY [contact info removed]
